A woman called saying that she wants an inspection of her swimming pool. She says that the house is for sale and a Home Inspector has noted that there are "deficiencies" in the electrical system associated with the pool. I told her that we don't do that and that she should hire a licensed electrician.
You would've thought I poked her with a sharp stick. She went on a 3 minute tirade about worthless government employees. She cut me off every time I tried to get a word in.
Then she said: "Well I'll hire an electrician to tear out everything and then you will have to inspect it when he replaces it all."
I tried to reply but she cut me off. As she was shouting at me, I got in the words: "I wouldn't do that." She stopped for a moment and said: "Just what would you do?" Then she was off on another tirade.
So as she shouted I said: "I would turn everything on, then toss a cat in the pool and see what happens." That shut her up for a moment and then she asked: "What did you say?"
When the raspy female finally hung up, my supervisor wanted to know what the call was about. After I explained, I heard: "A cat, you would toss a cat in the pool?" I said: "Well yes, I couldn't do that to a dog."
